… but some of the comments you make are funny as hell, and even though I don’t post that frequently these days, I do read and I appreciate the laughs (some of which I share with my wife, **Dondra** ). 😃

All is well, **Captain**. We’re having our Christmas here this year, although we had planned on going home. Her doctor still won’t give **Dondra** clearance to fly due to her pulmonary hypertension. Well, he actually strongly recommended she not fly and I won’t go without her.

I’ve done a lot of reading and with supplemental oxygen she should be able to make it at 32k (or a bit above) flying and Rothenburg isn’t that much higher above sea level than here in Carrollton, but we’re going to listen to the doctor. The last thing we need is for her to get sick over there.

Anyway, I’m not “gone” gone. Just trying not to get involved in some of y’all’s threads anymore.

And **Glazer** , I _will_ stop by. Y’all have been very kind in understanding that my loyalty lies here, although I can’t wrap my head around that fact sometimes and feel like shit over it.

Thanks!

Quasi

And then he bans you (and everyone else, of course) if you don’t come up with the money.

I used to be a stand-up comic.

Now I just tell funny stories in my living room.

If I’m lucky somebody else is there!
